Adult Protective Service Worker at Family Services Windsor-Essex supporting vulnerable adults through safety planning and community services.
CanadaWhat I'm looking for
At Family Services Windsor-Essex, I support vulnerable adults experiencing abuse, neglect, self-neglect, or other significant risks. I assess safety and service needs, then work with clients on support plans that promote dignity and independence.
I connect clients with community resources, healthcare providers, housing supports, and financial assistance. My work also includes crisis intervention, advocacy, and ongoing monitoring while respecting each person’s autonomy.
Previously, as a Housing Worker (Youth) at Family Services Windsor-Essex, I provided case management and advocacy and helped clients pursue housing. I coordinated referrals and supported practical steps such as preparing budgets, securing income assistance, and arranging utilities.
At Greater Essex County District School Board, I supported students’ behavioural, social-emotional, and learning needs alongside school-based teams. I’m currently looking for remote, client-facing work in case management, client service, or coordination at an organization that treats people with dignity; I’ve worked from home before and know it’s where I do my most focused work.
